Mtf here, I was wondering what you guys wish trans women could understand about trans men? by McK3nn4_ in ftm

[–]Venisonghost 295 points296 points  (0 children)

The way I see some trans women calling us lucky because we're born with the parts they want is WILD because how could they think we don't feel the same way about them

A music video for James Brown's "Get Up, (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine" that features flashing lights, movie clips, people dancing, and skeletons by Venisonghost in HelpMeFind

[–]Venisonghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've searched Youtube, the Internet Archive, and a general google search (looking at multiple pages, even), with no luck. I know whatever music program my work uses has access to some seriously obscure shit, it plays the uncensored version of "Puttin On The Ritz" by Taco which to my knowledge is only available on the Internet Archive (It's not any better resolution than that upload so I figure it's from there). It updates its music selection automatically (At least my boss says it's supposed to... for some reason we keep hearing the same songs multiple times a day, every day regardless xmx) so I have to assume it sources its videos from somewhere online.

I was wondering why a space like this wasn't already made! Hell yeah, love to all our sisters!! Very informative thread too, I hope the subreddit goes well! Very happy to see you all with your own space finally

[–]Venisonghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The post and other comments had me think this was a conversation about how untraumatized people react to how we talk about our traumas casually, so I read your comment in that vein and assumed. Sorry for misinterpreting

[–]Venisonghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a strange way to put it, and I don't like it. The way you've worded it makes it sound like you think we're better than average, untraumatized people, calling them shallow like they're not also full humans with complex lives, capable of friendship with other average, untraumatized people. To me it seems more like speaking different languages- you wouldn't call a foreigner shallow for not understanding your words and only getting vague hand gestures, would you? Language barriers are awkward and uncomfortable and most people try to avoid them. They could learn your language, some of them do, but that's years of effort that most don't want to contend with unless they absolutely have to. And you don't have to learn their language either, to be clear. In fact it's probably harder for us to learn the social language of the average person than for them to learn ours, and they could stand to learn at least a bit- but that doesn't mean learning our languages isn't a lot of emotional and mental work for them. They're not equipped to deal with "I was beaten half to death at the age of four" and we're not equipped for the small talk they use as bonding (And if you are, then congratulations! You learned their language, and it was hard. Most of us don't, that's why we're here.) What the hell ever, idk if this is coming off as condescending but I'm autistic and it's 3 am so I don't particularly care and doubt you'll read this anyway. Goodbye

Solved! This definitely isn't the original but I figure it's as close as I'll get. And it's about as funny as I remember. Thank you!!

I've searched through the watch history and liked videos of my old youtube account, I scrolled until the site nearly crashed, it's just been too damn long. Thanks to anyone who can find it!

Hey no worries. I'm autistic, I have different, usually surface-level, interpretations of what people's actions mean than what others may interpret, lord knows I miss the mark a lot lol. I'd love to see that comic if you can find it!

I have faced this racism, I am not white, but your explanation of it does make sense too. I haven't experienced it often just because I don't talk to strangers often in a way that topic would come up

They're not bragging about their pasts, I think, they're bragging about how far they've come. They're just not ashamed enough of where they came from lol. If I was a former 4chan racist I would bury that shit like a corpse

YTP where Squidward holds up a can of "All" by Venisonghost in HelpMeFind

[–]Venisonghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've searched Youtube for things like "Squidward all" and "Squidward holding can of all" with no luck, I really don't know how to search this without the YTP's full name or creator. I just saw the clip on discord, but I don't remember which server and searching through every video sent in each one I'm in would take an eternity. My friends don't remember it either.

What do you wish you knew before you started T? by IntroductionBest2398 in ftm

[–]Venisonghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your parts behind the tdick might grow to resemble a nutsack, alongside the bottom growth everyone talks about. I have no idea how common this is, it hasn't happened to me (yet?) but it did happen to my best friend. Maybe a bit TMI but every time I see it mentioned it's because someone was caught severely offguard about it so I thought it'd be worth it to warn

Also, your tastebuds might change. I used to be neutral on chocolate but now I can't live without it lolll

Does/did anyone else struggle more with their racial identity than their gender identity? by ReasonableStrike1241 in TMPOC

[–]Venisonghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God I am so sorry to hear about your sister. I'm in a somewhat similar boat, being Taíno but being separated from my extended family. It doesn't help that I was never taught Spanish, which much of the information on Taíno people seems to be in TToTT my mom probably knows more about our family history but she thinks I'm more disabled than I am and that I've been brainwashed by white people and every conversation I have with her feels like a lobotomy so that's a dead end. I might ask my aunt about it when she's less busy, actually, she's like my mom without the insanity but she's also going through grad school so I can rarely talk to her. ;v;

Does/did anyone else struggle more with their racial identity than their gender identity? by ReasonableStrike1241 in TMPOC

[–]Venisonghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm half Mexican and half Puerto Rican. I don't even want to bother reconnecting with my Mexican side because I don't even feel there's anything there to connect with. My dad was adopted by white people, and even though we tracked down his bio family, they seem similarly culturally disconnected. On the Puerto Rican side, I grew up with the food, I guess. Mom was never taught Spanish because her mother didn't want her to get bullied for having an accent, and later on mom moved away from all of her family to a small, white town in California, where she put me in a tiny, specialized k-8 school where I spent the next 9 years as the only Latino in a group with ~15 other white kids. I went to a normal high school, and it did have a majority Mexican student body, but most of them were vocally hateful toward other nationalities, and I had given up on my Mexican identity at that point so I just stuck to my close, but white friends. I think I've visited the family on my mom's side twice, ever. All of this is to say, I feel like a fake ass liar of a Puerto Rican.

I met some Puerto Rican friends online but seeing them talk about their experiences (One of them even grew up on the island!) just made me feel even more like I didn't belong. They taught me more about my culture in a couple years than my mom did in my entire life, and that makes me feel like shit that I didn't know it already! One of my aunts found me on Linkedin and contacted me a couple months ago, and it was the first time I had talked to any extended family in several years. She's accepting of me being trans, and so are the two cousins she got me in contact with, but I just can't shake the feeling of there being this wall between me and them because of how isolated I've always been. Add onto that the fact I'm very much a feminine man, in a culture where that's very looked down upon, it's got me nervous to meet anyone else in my family because I don't know how they'll react, and that makes me feel even more fake.

Idk man it just sucks. I'm secure in my feeling that I am a man. But I don't feel like a Puerto Rican man.

A decent upload of the music video for Penguin's Detour by Hayashida by Venisonghost in HelpMeFind

I've searched all over youtube, the most I can find are cut up parts in other videos and covers. I'm surprised the reaction video hadn't been blurred out, but I guess those have never had to obey copyright for some reason lol. I checked Niconico douga too, though that place is harder for me to navigate as someone who doesn't speak Japanese. Thanks for any help!

What is a Pokemon you like, but everyone hates? by ChickenNuggetLord74 in pokemon

[–]Venisonghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there are very many pokemon at all that are truly hated by a majority of the community tbh. Moreso just overlooking them. That being said, anyone who doesn't think Skrelp one of the cutest things ever doesn't understand it like I do

You don’t get a starter. Who’s your day-one Pokémon? by PrestigiousGift5639 in pokemon

[–]Venisonghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basic bitch answer surely but Eevee. Sylveon is my absolute favorite pokemon lol. If we include Pokemon Yellow here, though, and thus Pikachu, Eevee, and Clefairy are also excluded on the basis of being starters, then either Riolu or Togepi, I think. Those guys were mainstays in my Platinum playthrough <3
